Think of some good things people said about you...

"Quiet frankly, I think you are the best writer in the class. You are a unique personality." --Freshman English Comp professor. This is truly the best compliment I have received. It made me feel okay with being different. And, I love any compliments about writing/art (two passions of mine that have died down)

And I have many teachers recognize my hard work and being a great student. I've always liked hearing that because I consider myself a slow learner at times (I even stood back a grade.) So, any compliment about me being smart makes me happy. I have always thought many people consider me 'dumb.'

And finally, I wish I had saved this, but a fellow classmate wrote something for me one day and sent it to my email. I can't even explain the essence of the piece, but it talked about how we were alike and how I was different kind of beauty that you don't see everyday. It was just amazingly written.

These people who were just acquaintances suddenly, usually at the end of the year, tell me that I'm amazing and incredibly cool and so forth. This has happened several times. I always wonder if they mean it or not because these are often people that I didn't know too well. Maybe they just like to say good things about people.

The best compliment on my appearance I have gotten was one day when some of us were discussing makeup and I said that I never wore any. One of the other girls said, "Really? I thought you wore makeup every day!" I was so flattered.

A lot of my teachers say wonderful things about me. One of the best things I have heard from an adult was from a school club sponsor. i was trying to organize a party for the club and he said, "I know you'll work something out. I have faith in you. Always, always, always."

Some people say that I'm smart. But alot of times I just take slower paced classes just to get better grades.

I really like this idea! We need some positivity up in here! 'Cept, I can't think of a compliment! Other than, "You are really pretty" said last summer by a 7 year old girl my friend and I passed on the sidewalk one afternoon. It was so sweet and unexpected that I still remember it! :D

One thing I notice though is how a lot of the compliments posted are followed by a statement either justifying the compliment or negating it. Come on guys! Take a compliment! Don't say why it isn't true! Just Enjoy! :D

I remember back in my early teenage years, my cousin told me I was funny. Which stands out in my mind because it was probably the first compliment I had received in years. It also took me back a bit, because I had never really thought of myself like that.

The most peculiar thing is that afterwards, it became a sort of identity which I tried to live up to. And I've gotten hundreds of compliments to the same effect since then, so I guess I have. What puzzles me is... would I have acted the same way without the compliment, or did I become funnier because she made me believe I am? 8O 8O :?: :?: :?: :?: :idea:

That's a good question, but I think that she helped... that's why you should give compliments whenever you can.

I take compliments as people trying make me feel happy and they know I do not in general. They dont apreciate my efforts much. It's just a chance for them to say something nice to me. That's how I feel.
